Innovative Capability as a Management Requirement – Which Organizational Strategies Can Promote Innovation Processes?

A chapter in Enabling Innovation, 2011, pp 451-462 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Are there specific new forms of work organization that promote the innovative capability of an organization? And what are the implications of these forms for the work process? These questions are subject of 43 research and development projects in the “Innovation Strategies beyond Traditional Management” funding priority that forms part of the “Working – Learning – Developing Skills. Potential for Innovation in a Modern Working Environment” program of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). This paper outlines the work of associations from science, business and transfer centers that have joined together in subject-based focus groups to study this key issue. It appears that beneath the level of the thematic foci, and transversely to them, new innovation strategies converge essentially in three central dimensions: nonlinearity, exceeding organization boundaries, and subjectification.
